摘要
沿用本室改进的粪便提取方法,参照马来熊BDNF基因序列设计引物,首次从亚洲黑熊粪便DNA中扩增和克隆到包含完整核BDNF基因的753 bp片段,以毛发作阳性对照并进行重复实验,获得稳定一致结果。序列分析表明,亚洲黑熊的BDNF基因非常保守,与人相比,一致性达94.5%,与大熊猫比达98.9%。在推导的多肽序列中,其成熟区氨基酸序列与所有已报道哺乳动物的完全一致;对亚洲黑熊及其相关物种BDNF基因序列的比较分析,发现大熊猫与包括黑熊在内的熊科动物亲缘关系更近,而与小熊猫较远。文章首次采用非损伤性取样法在分子生物学水平对亚洲黑熊基因组核BDNF基因进行分析,不仅为亚洲黑熊的保护和繁育提供重要参考资料,为非损伤性取样在珍稀濒危野生动物研究中的应用拓宽了思路,也为亚洲黑熊及其近缘种的系统分类研究提供分子证据。
Using our lab＇s improved protocol for faecal DNA extraction, the entire 753 bp DNA coding sequence of the nuclear brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF） gene was cloned for the first time from Asiatic Black Bear （Selenarctos thibetanus） faecal samples with primers based on the reported sequence of the Malayan Bear BDNF gene. Hair was used as a positive control and the experiments were repeated several times to obtain reliable and identical results. Sequence analysis showed that the BDNF gene of Asiatic Black Bear was highly conserved compared to those of human and giant panda, with an identity of 94.5% and 98.9%, respectively. The deduced amino acid sequence of the mature protein was found to be identical to those of all the reported mammalians. According to gene sequence alignment, the giant panda appeared to be phylogenetically closer to Asiatic Black Bear than the lesser panda. This study represents the first time that a non-invasive method such as faecal sampling was used to analyze a functional nuclear BDNF gene of Asiatic Black Bear. It will not only provide important reference for the conservation and breeding of Asiatic Black Bear and open up new avenues of non-invasive sampling in the study of endangered wildlife, but also provide another molecular evidence for the study of relationship of Asiatic Black Bear and its related species,
